20-Aug-05. Elders sued over casino. Calgary Herald, B1.

Three elderly members of the Stoney First Nation who helped force the cancellation of the July 28th sod-turning ceremony for a planned casino are being sued for delaying the project. The Stoney Nation is seeking damages of at least $30,000 in damages from the elders. Casino oppenents claim that many band members were duped into supporting the Nakoda Entertainment Resort and that not enough members voted in favour of the casino to generate the majority needed to pursue the project.
